前言

The urban green space system, an artificial ecosystem, is the only infrastructure with life. With the acceleration of urbanization in China, there has been an obvious increase in hyper-metropolises. Focusing on the weak points of China’s urban green space system research in layout and structuring, this study conducts theoretical and empirical research on the green space systems of hyper-metropolises.

There are serious imbalances between the current theory and the practical develop-ment of green space system planning of hyper-metropolises. With the background of the globalization of hyper-metropolises, the study sets forth and demonstrates urban green space system evolution theory in the light of system theory and evolutionism through the empirical investigation of urban green space system planning and construction in Shanghai.

This book is made up of five parts. Chapter One defines the characteristics and connotations of the urban green space system in hyper-metropolises and puts forward the organic evolution theory, a sustainable development mode of green space systems. Chapter Two makes a comparative study of the urban green space planning theories at home and abroad and expounds the mechanism of the organic evolution theory. Chapter Three compares the layout and structures of green space systems in hyper-metropolises at home and abroad. Chapter Four is a historical review of the layout of green space systems in Shanghai and probes into its future construction. Chapter Five elaborates on the basic ecology network planning in Shanghai.

The following are innovations provided by this research from the perspectives of logic, thinking mode, theory construction and research method.

To begin with, it is the first systematic research at home and abroad focusing on the layout and construction of the green space system in hyper-metropolises.

Secondly, it is a relatively comprehensive research on the layout and structure of green space systems in hyper-metropolises, one of the most important and the most difficult problems of today.

Thirdly, it employs the innovative thinking mode in the research of green space system planning of hyper-metropolises.

Furthermore, it sets forth and demonstrates the urban green space system evolution theory.

Finally, it is the first empirical study on the planning and construction of green space systems in hyper-metropolises considering both the horizontal (space) and vertical (time) dimensions.
